Cannot navigate through macros menu using hotkeys plsql 10

Cannot navigate through macros menu using hotkeys in pl/sql 10.

Is there a way to fix it?

What exactly do you mean by "navigate through macros"? Can you elaborate?

I also can say about hot key's problem in plsql 10.

Open Program Window or Test Window or Command Window.
Hotkeys doesn't work at all. If I choose command from menu it is work, but not through hotkey.

Open SQL window and hotkeys works good.

Before 10, when you added macros to menu you could press alt,m and then the first letter of the macro description and the macro was executed, if there is more than one macro with the same starting letter you could press the letter again to go to the next macro and press enter to execute.

Ex.: macros
"create table"
"create view "
"drop table"

ex.1
alt,m (open macro menu)
d ( macro executed: drop table)

ex.2
alt,m (open macro menu)
c ( navigate to "create table")
c ( navigate to "create view")
enter execute selected macro "create view"

Marco, did you understand the problem?

 

[Marco Kalter]

I understand. We'll check it out.

I seems that you now have to explicitly define the shortcut key by adding an ampersand to the description in the macro definition. For example:

&create table
create &view
&drop table

This will be displayed as:

create table
create view
drop table

You can now use c, t and d to navigate to these menu items.

Ok it worked.

suggestion:
-warn the user about the optional use of the ampersand in library dialog.

This is a bug when working with old plugin Easy_BM.dll.
